Claudio Bandeira, a successful businessman, is haunted by nightmares starring Dr. Moura Brasil, a sinister figure who invades his dreams. The fragmented narrative, influenced by comic books, explores his physical and mental uncertainty under the military dictatorship.
A comic gem from the second generation of Cinema Novo (contemporary with Cinema Marginal), this film reflects the creative renewal following the exile of key figures like Glauber Rocha and Carlos Diegues. It's a pop-infused, chaotic, irreverent, and dreamlike story, with a radical use of Scope lens that often evokes Japanese New Cinema.
